PENGUINS TAKE GAME 3 WITH HELP FROM TALBOT


Last night in Pittsburgh, the Pens finally got what they deserved (A win over the Red Wings)In the 4-2 Penguins win Fleury made 27 saves..Maxime Talbot scored twice for the Penguins, while Sergei Gonchar scored the game winner in last nights game. Talbot was pleased with Fleury's performance. As he think Fleury kept them in the game."I'm so happy for Fleury because in Game 1 and 2 he got criticized a little bit, but tonight I think he won the battle of the goaltenders. I have a lot of trust in that guy, he's amazing. If I had a choice to take any goaltender in the league, I would choose Fleury and he proved it tonight."

Last night's win for the Penguins, the Penguins were 2 for 3 on the powerplay."When you get an opportunity on the power play you want to make the most of it," Sidney Crosby stated. "We did a great job of that tonight." Red Wings coach Mike Babcock agreed with Crosby's comment."It was a power-play game," said Babcock. "They got three and we got two. You know, that's the facts." Game 4 of this series will be on Thursday at 8:00pm E.t.
